Overview
Pomarzany Fabryczne is a secondary wastewater treatment plant serving Kłodawa, Poland. It treats wastewater for approximately 3,230 people with a designed capacity of 14,536 m³/day.
Pomarzany Fabryczne is a wastewater treatment plant located in Kłodawa, within the województwo wielkopolskie region of Poland. The facility serves a population of around 3,230 people, classifying it as a small agglomeration under Polish and EU regulations. The plant provides secondary treatment, which is the minimum standard required by the EU Urban Waste Water Treatment Directive (91/271/EEC) for discharges into freshwater. With a designed capacity of 14,536 m³/day and a current discharge volume of 460.55 m³/day, the plant operates well below its capacity, indicating potential for future growth or seasonal variations. The treated effluent is discharged into local water bodies that ultimately drain into the Warta River basin, a major tributary of the Oder River. This region is part of the larger Oder catchment, which flows into the Baltic Sea. The plant's secondary treatment helps protect downstream aquatic ecosystems from organic pollution and nutrient loading.
Environmental context
The plant discharges into the Warta River basin, which flows into the Oder River and eventually reaches the Baltic Sea. This watershed supports diverse aquatic life and is an important ecological corridor in western Poland. Secondary treatment reduces organic pollutants and suspended solids, helping to maintain water quality in the downstream rivers and the sensitive Baltic Sea ecosystem.
